Lifestyle: October Goals.

Oct 1, 2014

Accountability. Now
there’s a concept I can’t bring myself to be befriend quite yet. I’m in this
intense state of junioritis which involve being completely uncensored with no
regard toward acceptable societal norms. No, I don’t walk down the street in
the nude (Though I do want to try naked yoga sometime soon. Pretty similar
concept?), but I also don’t show the slightest sensitivity toward people’s
feelings nowadays. I’ve reached being unapologetic and careless to a degree
past anything acceptable- especially in my own life.

Which leads me to this- I need balance, I need shit
togetherness, and I need accountability. Common denominator, anyone? That’s
right! A good ol’ fashioned goals list shared with the good ol’ fashioned interwebz.
Here are all the marvelous achievements I hope to unlock by the end of this
month. On October 31st sharp, I will be checking in to see how far I've
come regressed. Easy does it!

The Goal: Purchase
winter tickets for Los Angeles.

The Process: Come
to terms with the fact that I will be spending an unreasonable amount of money.
Try to convince all my professors that I deserve to be the exception to the ‘everyone
needs to be in class during the final exam’ rule.

The Inspiration: My
super beautiful, super talented boyfriend who will be screening his short film
at USC during the fine month of December.

The Goal: Get my
eating in check and move more.

The Process: Be
better about cooking the food I spend over $100 for at Walmart before it goes
rotten in my refrigerator and I have to throw it away. Put my fancy FitBit to
good use because just cause it was an expensive little dweeb doesn’t mean it’s
gonna walk my ass for me.

The Inspiration: My
lazy ass is feeling a bit like an extra squished pancake lately from all that
class resting and work resting and homework doing resting. And my lazy insides
are feeling a bit like deathly from all that Nutella and Nutella and NUTELLA.

The Goal: Keep up
with my three times per week blog post editorial calendar.

The Process: Start
planning the entire week during the previous weekend. Stop being a chicken
about asking semi-unknown people to take my outfit photos. I’ve missed some
really good ones during September because my shyness was unbearable.

The Inspiration:
Life without my baby is a bit lot bleak. One of my greatest joys in life
is coming back to this little corner of the internet where I am in charge of
eeeeeeeerythang, and a little part of me dies every time I feel like I’m not
doing enough to keep this blog alive.

The Goal: Start
looking at summer internships and graduate schools.

The Process: Find
a day when I am not sleep deprived and incoherent and start researching and reaching
out to professors/friends/family/professionals about internship opportunities and
graduate school advice. Equally important: finally put together that portfolio.

The Inspiration: You
know those kids that live and breathe #collegelyfe and wholeheartedly believe
that college is going to be the best time of their lives? Yeah, I’m not one of
those. I crave the moments when I get to pay for my own food and health
insurance and phone bills. I guess I already pay for some of that on my own,
but you get the idea. I’m just one of those people that feels they could do
better out in the real world than stuck at school in New Mexico.

The Goal: Become
more spiritual/in touch with my body and mind.

The Process: More
yoga. More meditation attempts. More Zen Habits (Especially more Zen Habits.
Brilliant blog!). More Buddhist-based self-help books. More being in my own
mind.

The Inspiration: I’m
not religious and I don’t desire to be. However, I believe and crave feeling as
a part of something bigger than myself. I generally see myself as well rounded,
but this is one last puzzle piece that’s completely new and unexplored by me.
Also, I just generally need to calm the fannypack down.

And here ya have it. Everything I can be held accountable for as of right NOW. I will check in with these goals at the end of the month and see how far I've come/what I will continue to pursue! What are some of your goals for the month? I'd love to know!
